You can use properties files to create or change Performance
Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI) service properties under a server.
Before you begin
Determine the changes that you want to make to your PMI
service configuration or its configuration objects.
Start the
wsadmin scripting tool. To start wsadmin using the Jython language,
run the wsadmin -lang jython command from the bin directory
of the server profile.
About this task
Using a properties file, you can create, modify, or delete
a PMI service configuration properties.
Run administrative commands
using wsadmin to change a properties file for a PMI service, validate
the properties, and apply them to your configuration.
Table 1. Actions for PMI service properties
files. You can create, modify, and delete PMI service
properties.
Action |
Procedure |

Edit properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command. |

Set properties and then run the applyConfigProperties command. |

Specify the properties to delete in the properties
file and then run the deleteConfigProperties command. |
Optionally, you can use interactive mode with the commands:
AdminTask.command_name('-interactive')
Procedure
- Create PMI service properties.
- Specify PMIService properties in a properties file.
Open an editor and specify PMI service properties under a
server in a properties file. You can copy the following example properties
into an editor and modify the properties as needed for your situation.
The example shows a property under PMIService with name myName and
value myVal.
#

ImplementingResourceType=PMIService
ResourceId=Cell=!{cellName}:Node=!{nodeName}:Server=!{serverName}:PMIService=
AttributeInfo=services

- Run the applyConfigProperties command
to create a PMIService configuration.
Running the applyConfigProperties command
applies the properties file to the configuration. In this Jython example,
the optional -reportFileName parameter produces a
report named report.txt:
AdminTask.applyConfigProperties(['-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt'])
- Modify existing PMI service properties.
- Obtain a properties file for the PMI service that you
want to change.
You can extract a properties file for
a PMIService using the extractConfigProperties command.
- Open the properties file in an editor and change the
properties as needed.
Ensure that the environment variables
in the properties file match your system.
- Run the applyConfigProperties command.
- Delete the PMI service properties.
To delete
one or more properties, specify only those properties to delete in
the properties file and run deleteConfigProperties.
AdminTask.deleteConfigProperties('[-propertiesFileName myObjectType.props -reportFileName report.txt]')
Results
You can use the properties file to configure and manage
the PMI service.
What to do next
Save the changes to your configuration.
